BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Nigeria-centric framing: coverage concentrates on Nigerian victims and nationals, with limited representation of the experiences of other affected nationalities

Emphasis on official diplomatic response: coverage foregrounds government statements from Abuja with minimal direct voices from affected migrants themselves

Limited exploration of demonstrator grievances: structural causes (unemployment above 30%, public service degradation) are mentioned but rarely examined in depth
